ALRIGHT ALL YOU GUN OWNERS AND SUPPORTERS OF THE 2ND AMENDMENT READ THIS.

Dear Patriot, My jaw hit the floor when I heard the news. Coming directly from the U.N.'s own website, I was furious to find out that the second largest direct funder of their global gun ban is American taxpayers like you and me. Figures going back to the Obama administration show hundreds of thousands of dollars coming from our own government towards promoting the U.N.'s "Small Arms Treaty." And sadly, those funds haven't slowed down since President Trump has taken office. Could it just be oversight? Or could it be entrenched holdovers from the Obama administration willfully blocking President Trump from knowing this is going on? Either way, it is unacceptable that we are continuing to fund this global gun ban. If fully implemented in the United States, our Second Amendment would be put on life support, and it would take years to undo the damage. That s why I'm counting on you to sign the National Association for Gun Rights' "Defund the UN Gun Ban" Petition. And perhaps once I explain why this is such an important cause, you'll also consider chipping in $10 or $20 to help fund this vital program. You see, the anti-gun global elites are breathing a sigh of relief. Even with their anti-gun cheerleader Hillary Clinton not in the presidency, they are able to keep their yearly check courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer -- which they are using to work towards global implementation of the Treaty. In fact, the anti-gun global elites recently got back from a posh set of meetings in Geneva, Switzerland, where they schemed about ways to implement their anti-gun agenda world-wide. They know that as long as U.S. money keeps flooding in and our signature stays intact they will have their way eventually. And even if implementation isn't possible under President Trump, they are fully prepared to wait for someone like (God forbid) Senator Elizabeth Warren to take over the White House. In the meantime, they can get by on the hundreds of thousands in U.S. funds they will accumulate by then. And one important way to slow them down is immediately cutting off our funds to the U.N.'s "Small Arms Treaty." Frankly, I think President Trump would be wise to cut off a lot, maybe even all, funding to the United Nations given its long history of anti-American activity . . . but that's a subject for another day. Today, I hope you will stand with me in at least cutting off U.S. funding for the U.N.'s global gun ban scheme. So please click here and sign your "Defund the UN Gun Ban" Petition right away. After reading through the details of the Treaty, it's hard to see how our Second Amendment could survive such an assault. Perhaps the worst of the Treaty's provisions can be found in Article V, which mandates countries establish a "National Control List" -- or a NATIONAL GUN REGISTRATION database! You and I both know gun registration is just the first step toward outright CONFISCATION. And the U.N. is already plotting their next step -- developing new "International Small Arms Control Standards" (ISACS). Their goal is to impose these radical anti-gun initiatives on every nation who signs the U.N. "Small Arms Treaty." Introductory language already includes: *** Mandated national "screening" for all persons seeking to own guns, giving bureaucrats the final say on whether or not you're "competent" enough to own a gun; *** Restrictive licensing for gun and ammo sales, and perhaps even bans on certain types of firearms. This could include anything from semi-auto rifles to shotguns to handguns! *** Restrictions on the number of guns and amount of ammo any "properly-licensed" individual may legally own; *** Bans on magazines holding more than ten rounds; *** Bans on owning a firearm for self-defense -- unless a citizen can somehow demonstrate need and get federal government approval. And with U.S. funding continuing to support this treaty, the global anti-gun elites are convinced that the U.S. will come on board with full implementation. As one anti-gun world leader stated: "[W]e expect the U.S. to abide by the Treaty even if ratification will take some time." That's why the immediate defunding of this treaty is so important, and why I am asking for your support. So please click here and sign your "Defund the U.N. Gun Ban" Petition without delay! And once you sign please also consider chipping in $10 or $20. The only reason I am asking for your financial support is that I know first-hand, as a U.S. Senator, just how effective the National Association for Gun Rights is. Every cent they receive goes directly towards protecting and restoring the Second Amendment in our great country. I really hope I can count on you to join me in supporting this vital program. For Freedom, Rand Paul United Stated Senator (R-KY) P.S. I was shocked and angered to find out that the United Nation's "Small Arms Treaty" is largely funded by U.S. tax payers like you and me. That's more than every country in the world with the exception of Japan. That's why I'm hoping I can count on you to sign NAGR's "Defund the U.N. Gun Ban" Petition right away. And once you've signed, please consider chipping in $10 or $20 to help NAGR fight back.
